You're allowing your perception to obscure reality. Ridley has led the team in carries by a not insignificant margin in every game but Baltimore in which case it was a near even split his 13 to Woodheads 15 (not coincidently this was Pats worst rushing performance of the year by far). Outside of that game he's averaged 20 carries a game which is right where I expected him to be. Again the lost opps at the GL are only unexpected hiccup and even with them he's rb8. People selling are doing a facile drive by analysis. Dig deeper.Okay, but he doesn't, and since Belichick isn't likely to give any one RB most of the touches on a weekly basis, this is just something us Ridley owners will have to put up with. But I won't complain it since I knew what I was getting myself into when I took a NE RB.This is simply not true. I think by the end of the season we'll look back at Baltimore as the aberration. I doubt we will see another game where Ridley is so astonishingly uninvolved. The only really annoying bit in this for Ridley owners is that he won't be getting 100% of he GL work with Bolden emerging but otherwise this is exactly what I signed up for.Sold Ridley for McFadden this week. Too much uncertainty on who will get the majority of touches each week. Great for the Pats to have that depth but horrible for Fantasy owners.What a headache this is. Ridley is guaranteed some amount of touches per week where Woodhead and Bolden's carries will likely fluctuate depending on the game state (no huddle vs. grinding). Throw in a little bit of Vereen who's more versatile than any one of these RBs and you have a fantasy situation to avoid.
(To put it in perspective, if Ridley had Boldens 2 TDs he'd have 69 FP and be tied for RB3.)
